BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biter households halve the amount of hazardous chems we use, we'll avert the weight of 833 sterling silver tea sets in dangerous waste.

Still searching for your knight in shining armor?

The Bite

Can't help you with the knight part, but we're all over the shining armor. Natural metal polishes leave your brass, silver and steel sparkling, and they're non-toxic so you don't need to suit up in your chain mail before using them.

 

The Benefits

 

Effective cleaning. Tarnish doesn't stand a chance.

Safer ingredients. Non-toxic formulas are free of chems like lung-irritating ammonia.

Cleaner water. The EPA estimates each U.S. household disposes of 1 lb of hazardous waste per year (including solvent-based polishes), which can make its way into groundwater if washed down the drain.

 

Personally Speaking

The silver flatware Jen inherited seems to tarnish before she can say " heirloom, " but Homewood Metal Polish wipes it clean and makes her feel better about putting newly-polished forks in her mouth.
